    Boat Battery Questions - Cranking

    I know the 27 cranking is out there. Just contemplating if I should run one cranking and on deep cycle.

    Boat Battery Questions - Cranking

    2004 Hurricane with a 4.3L Volvo inboard. No trolling motor. When I got the boat it had two Interstate 27m-HXD cranking batteries in it with a selector switch (one, two or both). Last year one of the batteries died and I went to the local battery dealer (the only one) and all they was a...

    anyone have luck with aftermarket v/p fuel pump assy?

    Second vote for mancavemechanic. I had the dreaded paint chips in my fuel pump and ordered one from mancave. So far it's worked perfect.

    Another winterization question

    My concern is the power going out. Was going to get a bilge heater but when the winter storm hit texas, my boat shed lost power for 4 days. Thankfully I had a buddy that was able to go over on day 1 and pull all the drain plugs in the engine.

    Another winterization question

    I always to the engine oil, gear oil and pull the outdrive first weekend in November. I was just dreading having to use anti-freeze and pump get it cycled in the engine. Going to drain and pull hoses and be done with it. Thanks for the responses, I do appreciate it.

    Sx gear oil change shouldn’t be this hard

    Maybe a little heat on it? There is a rubber gasket on the drain screw.

    Another winterization question

    My boat is in South Texas and 99% of inboard owners don't winterize down here, but my gut is telling me to at least think about it this year. If I pull the drain plugs in the engine, is it a MUST to then run anti-freeze in to the engine or am I ok just leaving the engine dry (no anti-freeze)? I...

    Impeller replacement question

    Saw a video the other day and the mechanic replaced the impeller (2007 5.7L, don't know model) and said that before starting the engine in the lake to hook up water to the boat via muffs or the water inlet on the engine (for a garden hose) and force water in to the impeller becuase if you run...

    Wiring in kill switch - 2004 Volvo 4.3

    2004 Volvo 4.3 GXI-E on a Hurricane Sundeck 187. Boat currently does not have a kill switch (came without one). I'm headed down to do some work on it in a few weeks and want to make sure I have my ducks together as it's a 3 hour drive. The kill switch I purchased has 4 prongs so it can...

    Serpentine belt replacement 4.3GXI-E

    Headed to the boat for the weekend, looking through my maintenance log I haven't done the serpentine belt since 2015 (approx 103 hours on engine since 2015). While the belt visually looks fine, I have read that volvo recommends replacement every 3 years. Is this right? I have a spare belt...

    What is this? Volvo throttle.

    Went to check on my boat and noticed this piece had broken off my throttle. I know it’s not the kill switch (boat didn’t come with one) and best I can remember is was just some sort of button that pushed in. Don’t think I ever figured out what it did. Bonus points if you have a part number so I...
